Children's Orthodontics
Give Your Child's Smile the Best Possible Start
At Allô Dentiste, we believe every child deserves the foundation for a healthy, confident smile. Two-phase treatment works with your child's natural jaw growth to guide teeth into the right position before problems develop. Phase 1 typically begins between ages 7 and 10, and starting at the right time often means simpler treatment later, sometimes preventing the need for extractions or jaw surgery.
Once the remaining permanent teeth have erupted, Phase 2 puts the finishing touches on your child's smile. We make sure every tooth is in exactly the right place for a bite that looks great and functions even better. We'll keep you involved every step of the way.
Every smile journey starts with a free consultation. Come in and we'll tell you exactly what we see and what we recommend.
Your Two-Phase Treatment Journey
Phase One: Building the Foundation
Between ages 7 and 10, we guide jaw growth, create space for permanent teeth, and correct bite issues while your child is still growing. Starting at the right time can prevent more serious problems and more complex treatment down the road.
Resting Period
After Phase One, we give the remaining permanent teeth time to erupt naturally. Your child will still come in for check-ups so we can keep an eye on progress and know exactly when to move to Phase Two.
Phase Two: Putting Every Tooth in Place
Once all permanent teeth are in, we use braces or clear aligners to put every tooth in its exact ideal position for a smile that looks beautiful and functions even better. This is the straightening phase, and the results are worth it.
Retention: Protecting the Results
After treatment is complete, a retainer keeps teeth in their new positions and protects your child's smile for life. We'll walk you through exactly how and when to wear it.
